Crying over an invitation to one of my favorite professors' retirement party A) because I was invited and B) because everything changes and nothing can stay

Oh same

Man I hate when a mf has a weak handshake

Finished it 👍

It’s 70 degrees out and I’m about to pull a “Can we have class outside” in this meeting

Tired: STEM

Right every post about it has a photo of Hegseth but the quote comes from an anonymous report and is attributed to “an officer.” Ok. Like I don’t doubt people are saying that shit and I don’t doubt it’s a real thing people believe. But the “reporting” is getting out of hand 🫩

But that's it

I guess I also know he writes for the New Yorker

Literally the only thing I know about Isaac Chotiner is he will GET YOUR ASS

"Learning the Ropes" feels like a stroke of genius. Sometimes I surprise myself.

I have a pretty good title already though. Something like "Learning the Ropes: Conversion, Catechism, and Sincerity of Belief in Pro Wrestling"

I figured as much but STILL!!!!

Agreed YESTERDAY to submit a AAR paper proposal for a panel lolhelp

Man what really gets me about academic AI boosters is their utter lack of respect for the very work they supposedly love and have dedicated their lives to. Like what are you even doing here, my guy???

I’m still grieving the end of my last relationship, and maybe I always will, but damn I love sitting alone in my clean, quiet house 😌

In a statement to The Crimson, Summers wrote that the decision to leave was “difficult” and that he remained “grateful to the thousands of students and colleagues I have been privileged to teach and work with since coming to Harvard as a graduate student 50 years ago.” “Free of formal responsibility, as President Emeritus and a retired professor, I look forward in time to engaging in research, analysis, and commentary on a range of global economic issues,” he added.

When academia's stars mistreat people, they're "punished" with relief from teaching, mentoring, and service responsibilities. This frees them to spend more time on the more valued work of research. And dumps less valued responsibilities onto colleagues, making it harder for them to become stars.
